[Zope] ZopeTestCase and INSTANCE_HOME

[zope at netchan.cotse.net]

I use the FileSystemSite product
(http://www.zope.org/Members/k_vertigo/Products/FileSystemSite) to serve
some static pages for the management pages of my product. If your static
content folder is under INSTANCE_HOME, FSS trims this prefix from the
path
(http://cvs.infrae.com/FileSystemSite/utils.py?rev=1.1&content-type=text
/vnd.viewcvs-markup - minimalpath method).
This means that the path you have to pass to createDirectoryView depends
on if your INSTANCE_HOME points to the home of your product or not.
A workaround for this is to check if INSTANCE_HOME really points to your
instance and set the filepath argument of createDirectoryView
(http://cvs.infrae.com/FileSystemSite/DirectoryView.py?rev=1.5&content-t
ype=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup) accrodingly, however this is a hack and I
hate hacks ;-)

Sandor
